To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN G. BR1ees, .a citizen of the United States,residing at- Visalia, in the county of Tulare and State of California,have invented a new and use- Beeswax 3 ounces. Rosin 1 ounce. Gumcamphor f 1 ounce. Spirits of turpentine '5 ounces. Benzin 1 ounce;

To these ingredients there may be added u sufficient dry coloring mattermixed in two ounces of spirits of turpentine to give the polish thecolor desired for applying to colored surfaces. v

The ingredients of my combination are to be thoroughly mixed and groundtogether and are to be combined in the following manner:

The camphor and turpentine should be united and so remain until the gumcamphor has become fully dissolved in the spirits of turpentine; thebeeswax and rosin should be melted and be thoroughly mixed by agitationwhile warm; and 1n a melted condition; while still warm the beeswax androsin should be united with the mixture composed of gum camphor andspirits of turpentine, to which should also be added the benzin, and thewhole'of the ingredients then are to be thoroughly mingled by grindingor agitation.

If a colored polish is desired, a sufiicient amount of dry color shouldbe added to two ounces of spirits of turpentine and thoroughly mixedtherein, and this should be added to the foregoing combination whilestill warm and thoroughly mixed throughout the. entire com osition ofmatter.
